<p>Affected countries have encountered many difficulties in their attempt to control the spread of Ebola. It is the first Ebola epidemic that West African nations have experienced and many individuals, including medical staff, lack knowledge and experience in dealing with a highly communicable disease. In some areas people have become suspicious of both the government and hospitals; some hospitals have been attacked by angry protestors who believe that the disease is a hoax or that the hospitals are responsible for the disease. Many of the areas that have been infected are areas of extreme poverty without even running water or soap to help control the spread of disease. Other factors include belief in – and reliance on – traditional <a href="/wiki/Folk_medicine" title="Folk medicine">folk remedies</a>, <a href="/wiki/Magical_thinking" title="Magical thinking">magical beliefs</a>, and cultural practices that predispose to physical contact with the deceased, especially <a href="/wiki/Death_custom" title="Death custom" class="mw-redirect">death customs</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Bathing_the_dead" title="Bathing the dead">washing the body of the deceased</a>. Some hospitals lack basic supplies and are understaffed, which has increased the likelihood of staff catching the virus themselves. In August the WHO reported that ten percent of the dead have been health care workers.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources.

<h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Healthcare_workers">Healthcare workers</span></h3>
<p>Healthcare providers caring for Ebola patients and family and friends in close contact with Ebola patients are at the highest risk of getting sick because they may come in direct contact with the blood or body fluids of sick patients. In some places affected by the current outbreak, care may be provided in clinics with limited resources (for example, no running water, no climate control, no floors, inadequate medical supplies), and workers could be in those areas for several hours with a number of Ebola infected patients.<sup id="cite_ref-CDC_53-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-CDC-53"><span>[</span>53<span>]</span></a></sup> As of 11 August, healthcare workers have represented nearly 10 percent of the cases and fatalities, significantly impairing the ability to respond to the outbreak in a country which already faces a severe shortage of doctors.<sup id="cite_ref-54" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-54"><span>[</span>54<span>]</span></a></sup> On 26 August, the WHO reported that more than 240 health care workers have developed Ebola in Guinea, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone, and more than 120 have died. According to the WHO, the high proportion of infected medical staff can be explained by lack of the number of medical staff needed to manage such a large outbreak, shortages of protective equipment or improperly using what is available, and "the compassion that causes medical staff to work in isolation wards far beyond the number of hours recommended as safe.".<sup id="cite_ref-WHO_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WHO-13"><span>[</span>13<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>Comparing the present Ebola outbreak to some in the past, the WHO notes that many of the most recent districts in which epidemics have occurred were in remote areas where the transmission had been easier to track and break. This outbreak is different in that large cities have been affected as well, where tracking has been difficult and medical staff may not suspect Ebola disease when they make a diagnosis. Several infectious diseases endemic to West Africa, such as <a href="/wiki/Malaria" title="Malaria">malaria</a> and <a href="/wiki/Typhoid_fever" title="Typhoid fever">typhoid fever</a>, mimic the symptoms of Ebola disease, and doctors and nurses may see no need to take protective measures.<sup id="cite_ref-WHO_13-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WHO-13"><span>[</span>13<span>]</span></a></sup> Also, without recent past experience with the disease, people have become intensely fearful and have in some cases attacked medical staff, believing that they cause the disease .<sup id="cite_ref-WHO_13-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-WHO-13"><span>[</span>13<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>The WHO reports that in the hardest hit areas there have historically been only one or two doctors available to treat 100,000 people, and these doctors are heavily concentrated in urban areas; the loss of so many health workers has made it difficult for the WHO to provide sufficient numbers of medical staff. Among the fatalities is Samuel Brisbane, a former advisor to the Liberian Ministry of Health and Social Welfare, described as "one of Liberia's most high-profile doctors."<sup id="cite_ref-guardian_27_July_2014_55-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-guardian_27_July_2014-55"><span>[</span>55<span>]</span></a></sup> In July, leading Ebola doctor <a href="/wiki/Sheik_Umar_Khan" title="Sheik Umar Khan">Sheik Umar Khan</a> from Sierra Leone died in the outbreak.

<p>In late August Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) called the situation "chaotic" and the medical response "inadequate".

Calling the situation "an emergency within the emergency", MSF reports that many hospitals have had to shut down due to lack of staff or fears of the virus among patients and staff which has left people with other health problems without any care at all. Speaking from a remote region, a MSF worker said that a shortage of protective equipment was making the medical management of the disease difficult and that they had limited capacity to safely bury bodies.<sup id="cite_ref-doctorswithoutborders.org_66-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-doctorswithoutborders.org-66"><span>[</span>66<span>]</span></a></sup></p>

<p>An article published in the <a href="/wiki/New_England_Journal_of_Medicine" title="New England Journal of Medicine" class="mw-redirect">New England Journal of Medicine</a> on-line in April 2014 asserted that while the <a href="/wiki/Ebola_virus" title="Ebola virus">Zaire ebolavirus</a> (EBOV) in Guinea shared 97% of its genetic code with the Zaïre lineage, it was of a different <a href="/wiki/Clade" title="Clade">clade</a> than the strains from outbreaks in the <a href="/wiki/Democratic_Republic_of_Congo" title="Democratic Republic of Congo" class="mw-redirect">Democratic Republic of Congo</a> and <a href="/wiki/Gabon" title="Gabon">Gabon</a>, and constituted a new strain indigenous to Guinea, and was not imported from Central Africa to West Africa.<sup id="cite_ref-Baize-2014_14-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Baize-2014-14"><span>[</span>14<span>]</span></a></sup> This result, however was contradicted by two subsequent reports.</p>
<p>The first of these reports reached the conclusion that the outbreak "is likely caused by a Zaire ebolavirus lineage that has spread from Central Africa into Guinea and West Africa in recent decades, and does not represent the emergence of a divergent and <a href="/wiki/Endemic_(epidemiology)" title="Endemic (epidemiology)">endemic</a> virus."<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated4_225-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated4-225"><span>[</span>225<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
<p>A second report published in June 2014 also supports the latter view, determining that it was "extremely unlikely that this virus falls outside the genetic diversity of the Zaïre lineage" and that their analysis "unambiguously supports Guinea 2014 EBOV as a member of the Zaïre lineage."<sup id="cite_ref-plosx_224-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-plosx-224"><span>[</span>224<span>]</span></a></sup></p>
